Well my Lyretail Anthias has a man crush on my Blenny.... That counts as love right? Ill enter this one then if it counts.... Though votes seem to go towards popularity not picture quality so I could enter anything I guess. lol.

No it's true, the picture that is the most popular will get the most votes, it can't work any other way. It doesn't always come down to image quality, people will vote for whatever image they like best thus the most popular one wins....

can't say for sure it was love but the two of them had something going on once the lights were off...

Oops, my bad! When I first read the statement I interpreted it as the popularity of the photo taker as opposed to the popularity of the actual photo. But as Steve pointed out my interpretation is probably completely wrong, in which case, I totally agree with the statement. Carry on :-)

Mm nope you were right the first time. I see plenty of amazing photos get passed by for a photo taken by a popular member. It's a shame, some stunning stuff gets posted in these by lots of different people.

Well I tried to turn the statement around into something logical. Sorry but you're wrong, myself winning once should be testament to that
